A very belated work update: I’m writing Warren Spector’s next game! I’ve been contracting with OtherSide Entertainment since July. From creating my first immerse sim with Pacific Drive, to jumping in with the originator of the genre itself. This new adventure is gonna go places!

Gravity Well is looking for a great Systems Designer. Job posting below. Studio website is here: gravitywell.games Hoping you'll consider joining a small independent studio that is making something new!

I'm headed to DICE Summit and this is the most Vegas pic I could find. I'm deep in dev, but am coming to mentor DICE Scholars and eat with my fellow Indies Who Have Been Doing This For Almost 20 Years And Yet Survive Vegas is a great place to talk gamedev bc we gamble with years of our lives ha ha

Today I join the enthusiastic-but-knowingly-tryhard society of people who whisper-brag that we have played Titanium Court by @apthomson.bsky.social early, and, yes, it's very cool and you should wishlist it now while it's cool to be ahead of the zeitgeist store.steampowered.com/app/2364580/...

good news: I got access to the Final Fantasy X MTG deck and picked out the only one that matters

you can tell someone is European or a gamedev based on how they spell Behaviour

2016 making our first Square Enix Mtl prototype, in which @renaudbedard.bsky.social & I were babies founding their new dev team 🤍

Cleveland’s Reinberger Gallery has installed our game We Are OFK in their FREE PLAY exhibit! Such an honor & encouragement to see our game & others treated with the love & thoughtfulness we aspire to for our medium🤍 Thanks @reinbergergallery.bsky.social & @jarrydhuntley.bsky.social for repping OFK!

Point Break

I love the game design of RV There Yet - a co-op game of driving out of the wilds. It has a "wide band of responsibility" e.g. you can drive, taking great responsibility, OR just ride in the RV & cook burgers, leaving hard work to tryhard players. Choose your level of lean-in @rvthereyetgame.com

my videogames New Year's wish for you all

Finally playing 13 Sentinels and UGH it’s so gorgeous. VanillaWare’s 2D art is always striking. Love the way they dynamically do light, character rim light, and lens flares. Not to mention the palettes

There are 12 days of Christmas They start on the 25th It’s in a song, get educated It’s not over keep eating

Welcome to gamedev BlueSky, Twitter flee-ers! I co-led Hyper Light Drifter & directed We Are OFK I give game design talks & travel when recovering from a long development! I sing for OFK and talk fashion sometimes, Final Fantasy all the time. Making a couple new things!

#1 gamedev party activity is still arguing over whether a game is “menus” or “parkour”

MERRY FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY FRIENDS

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING you can be NUDE TERMINATOR in Terminator 2D: No Fate

This hangout/coworking game is so great! Perfect free demo now for your holiday tinkering

We Are OFK is WILDLY on sale to celebrate the holidays + our song! ofk.cool/steam

OFK dropped a holiday song this month! The virtual band from our game lives! They also now have as many songs as K/DA! It's not a competition but we're tied! Merry Christmas Happy Holidays 🤍 ofk.cool/christmas

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead. I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.

This is like when every game suddenly had RPG ELEMENTS

me all month

This year for Game Awards fits, we showed up imho (w @karriebear.bsky.social)

Due to several twists of fate, we have been gifted jewelry hand-made by Sakaguchi - the father of Final Fantasy. @karriebear.bsky.social & I in @auuo.bsky.social #sakagucci originals. thank you Saho!

ICYMI I reached a life goal of releasing an original holiday song just like my gamedev heroes Ariana Grande and Wham

This is what going hard looks like

What bsky friends might know is my involvement in Hyper Light Drifter & OFK & Square Enix blah blah What you might NOT YET KNOW is that I’m the Dark Spirit of Videogames Christmas and my time draws near ☃️

OK BE COOL SHOULD I ASK HER ABOUT VIDEO GAMES OR

shipped by now

I'm competing/co-opeting today in Starfriends to celebrate their Kickstarter success, and perhaps to show @plante.bsky.social that he's wrong about goldeneye being a 2-star game. WATCH LIVE AT 4PM PT

The biggest day in esports has arrived. Q-UP is out. store.steampowered.com/app/3730790/...

Does this count as Hades cosplay if @ulicon.bsky.social gives me a gift and I act sad about my dad?

I am CRUSHED. Transformers Devastation (PS4) - by Platinum Games who made NieR Automata - was pulled from Steam. Hasbro give it back!

"Quality of Life Improvements" are sometimes a bad idea for your game. Don't round out your interesting edges because you're afraid a player will feel a hard feeling!

This should be the most watched video on the internet this week. Inspiring!

gamedev making too many prototypes at once, Ben Affleck Edition

Looking for a party game that combines social deduction with the pleasant absurdity of rating animals, films, and the weather on a scale of ★ to ★★★★★? And it's just a simple deck of cards? AND it's live on Kickstarter now?!?! Guess what, STARFRIENDS has launched! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bra...

game design is such an embarrassingly human endeavor. you stumble through iterations, lost in the woods like 20 times even tho this happened on your last game. The real magical games somehow feel like… the result of that process. Something was FOUND after the SEARCHING. So cool. Let’s keep doing it

Every young man on his 18th birthday should be gifted a copy of Baby Steps to learn about the real world

Baby Steps has jumped up to maybe my GoTY 🤍 Genius, profound, incredible craft from level design to pacing and story. It hooks you with a simple/deep mechanic and then literally/figuratively takes you places

Baby Steps is genius and somehow truly thrilling in pajamas. OUT NOW by Bennett Foddy, Gabe Cuzzillo, and Maxi Boch! store.steampowered.com/app/1281040/...

BAFTA Emmies Tea Party! It’s an honor to rep videogame creators, build bridges between games & film, and celebrate BAFTA Breakthrough @karriebear.bsky.social! @bafta.org @baftagames.bsky.social

At the Demon Slayer premiere! Incredible to see anime represented in LA’s historic Chinese Theatre

I returned to the Olympic Exclusion Zone to tell you a brand new, horrific story.... Pacific Drive's first story expansion coming soon!!
